All my pics come out sideways on my phone?!?! Oh well, this is a Zazen girl MH. VERY squat, especially for something that is supposed to be Sativa dom. Like I said, nothing special so far, but it does have 5+ weeks to go and you can never judge a book by the cover. I'll reserve final judgement until I can smoke on some. I have packs of Cascadian Frost and Kali Mist x Cherry Bomb too. We shall see...

I didn't know you got banned from that site too!! What happened?

Ha! You guys are a rough group. Banned. What the hell is going on here? And here I thought that this wonderful plant was supposed to bring us all together. Good grief. I would like to see how that KM x CB does. I know nothing of Cherry Bomb other than it's a pheno of AK 47. That must be some great shit if you hit on a nice phenotype.

ROFL... I think StOw has a few, err, unskinned cats so to speak with them fellas. It really must be a huge downer, spending the money and then getting rough treatment from the guy who got the money. I know that feeling, it is not a nice one. So I guess it is a case of the genetics REALLY having to speak for itself in this case. Well as far as StOw's sense of satisfaction with his purchase goes this will be the case.

Anyway I am super stoned so a little rant to follow: I also always thought herb would bring people together across absolutely all possible divides. I have learned that this is not really the case. I suppose because the Canna family is really, REALLY big now. And as it goes with families, perhaps BECAUSE of how close you are, fireworks happen often. BUT it sorts itself out, mostly in a very adult fashion. You know, I respect StOw for his stand-off and his feelings towards Gas' genetics. Reason for this is I feel that the influence StOw really puts on others is always positive. I have seen him argue. He does it nicely.
For me the pity in it is that the line of communication got closed from THEIR side. A couple of messages and I am sure everybody would see eye to eye. But to deny StOw that opportunity, to find the middle ground... I don't know man. That is REALLY rough. Leaving somebody hanging with all those shitty feelings simmering away. It is a tad irresponsible perhaps. I mean, if you treat somebody like Myco like that, you can cause serious problems for a whole family. It is just not something you do to people, let them just hang with no opportunity to make right.
So yeah, the Canna family does still have certain attitudes around that not everybody will gel with. So we find our little comfortable pockets within the community. We get protective over them too, myself a prime example. And I can see StOw's message in his attitude towards the plants. His message is 'I will treat you well. It will be appreciated if you treat me well too, thank you'. That is StOw in a nutshell.

And on another note. I have to come out and say this. Gandalf, you are right about this: Gage bring the fire. I am going to buy pretty much everything they have available. I really don't care if I can run it all, I just need to have it in the vault for in case. If I had to choose only one company it is them. I do not easily get paranoid, but I can smell this gear too far away from my place for my liking. And I LIKE that. Me and my wife have now spent 2 days trying to come up with a description for the smells. We are at a loss. Your phrase 'a roll of lifesavers' applies. As it dries it is honestly getting insane. I am out of dry weed. I put cut a few sugars off the LT x FB and sun dried them. Yeah yeah I know. I miscalculated this year lol. BUT. I am so friggin wasted. WTF. I have not been this high in years. WTF is going to happen when I smoke the FLOWERS?! It tasted dank too. Holy crap.

I owe you big time buddy. That is quite a few solids I now owe you. I HAVE to come visit. I have always wanted to do a drive from the East to West coasts. Starting in Boston, tons of people I need to meet there. Gods, I have more mates in Boston than South Africa. Studied through Berklee's online extension school. I want to meet my instructors! Such legends. Don't know what I will do but I am gonna find a way to spoil you big time. You are the man.

No way Hamish. Friends never owe each other in my book. I am so lucky to have become friends with all you guys. You all are the greatest. I consider you guys my true canna family. It's such a huge part of my life. Someday just hanging out with you guys and smoking together will be incredible. I can't wait for that day to come. You guys are the real deal. I smile when I read all of your posts. It's amazing the bonds we have formed. Gage is where my loyalties are. I am with them for life and I am so proud to be in the fam. I am so proud to "run the dank". I love you bro. :joint:

Ha! You guys are great!

Gand, I agree. I can't tell you how many times I've thought about how cool it would be to get together with a bunch of the thread regulars here and toke. One day...


Hamish, I don't want to beat the dead horse much further, so I'll try to keep it short. My rub with that place was the attitude. Arrogance should have nothing to do with this plant, or growing it organically. We all have our methods to get the most out of our girls, and we shouldn't expect to get ridiculed over it. Rrog doesnt agree with everything that we discuss here, but you never see him chastising someone for what they're doing. He'll make suggestions, and give advice, but it's always helpful and constructive.It really pissed me off to see the way that people were talked down to there, and then when red started getting ripped over asking good questions (and using coco coir) I made my mind up that I was done there. I deserved to get banned..... it was kinda the point, so for that I'm not bitter. I will also grow all of these swami seeds out. Fuck it, I paid for them. Maybe I stumble across some old school fire that Coot crawled through the Vietnamese jungle for. :-)

Is that how he got those? Wow. I need some of that. I had some crazy kind of Vietnamese back in the early 90's that I was growing. My "friend" stole some plants from a few hardcore guys in his hometown and gave me clones. I didn't know they were stolen until a month later when they found him and broke his arm as punishment. True fucking story. It was what inspired me to grow for myself. I smoked it for so long and paid so much for it that I needed to grow it for myself.

We got some Black Forrest straight from the Rev which has some Vietnamese Black in it. Can't wait to run that one.

Qrazy Train. Maybe the tastiest breed that I have grown, along with Somango.

I wish that I had kept it.

I have since grown out Ace Of Spades.

I have both the Apollo 13 BX (Day 54) and Jilly Bean (Day 33) in the flowering tent.

I have Jacks Cleaner 2 (female, upotted to a 5 gallon hempy) and Plushberry and
Jack the Ripper (unsexed) Vegging at this time.

I have found that TGA breeds have *excellent* vigor, structure, flavor, and finishing times.

Top Grades!

Thanks for reply. Seems like the TGA 'nerds' are very faithful and won't run anything else. I've just read way to many mixed reviews of herms and low potency. The grow journals are so damn pretty though. When in doubt...buy the beans!!!

I have had zero herm issues.

Now potency is TBD, but QT was very strong and tasty.

Honestly, there is no source that I hate....but GHS sold me the
Chemdog that seeded a previous crop.

Aw people love blaming herms on the breeder eh. I think TGA is an elite breeder. All gear has its weakness, with guys like TGA that work with huge soil rigs, small pots make big trouble. Same with Bodhi, if you want to see a herm give it a teeny bit if root space. Not something you plan on doing is it?!..

The ONLY time I've ever had a herm was from heat stress. I've interrupted dark cycles, changed light schedules, and you know I bend my bitches over and give it to em rough like. Even on cheap freebie genetics. Anything over 85 degrees for a long period is a hermie gimme!

Maybe lucky. Hemp Depot has all TGA for dirt cheap and 5$ shipping. How can I resist.

Anyway, my clones perked up by the next morning. Aloe and ProTekt foliar every night. I want some stow roots for this bodhi!

I'm on my first all TGA run. A few have showed sex in veg. They are getting transplanted into larger pots within the next week.

quantum kush, plushberry, dire wolf, 9 lb. Hammer, Jesus og x Scotts og, jillybean.

My herm experience was quite crap. They just swerved ​and grew balls.
